About Erigeron aragonensis
Erigeron aragonensis, also known as Aragon Fleabane, is a small, mat-forming perennial herbaceous plant native to the Pyrenees mountains. It is characterized by its delicate, pure white daisy-like flowers with yellow centers, which bloom profusely during spring and summer. It is ideal for rock gardens, sunny borders, or as a filler plant in pots and containers, bringing a natural and wild touch.
Native range
Endemic to the Pyrenees, in the Iberian Peninsula
Care tips
It prefers full sun exposure for optimal flowering, though it can tolerate some partial shade in very hot climates. Watering should be moderate, allowing the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings, as it is sensitive to overwatering. It requires well-drained soil, preferably sandy or stony, and poor in organic matter. A common mistake is overwatering, which can lead to root rot, especially in heavy soils.
